MOOC ON SOCIAL INNOVATION IN RURAL AREAS

MOOC ON SOCIAL INNOVATION IN RURAL AREAS

The SIMRA MOOC (Massive Online Open Course), titled “Social Innovation in Rural Areas” is going to start running on 30 March. The MOOC was developed by SIMRA: Social Innovation in Marginalised Rural Areas, a project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. SIMRA seeks to advance understanding of social innovation and innovative governance in agriculture, forestry and rural development, and how to boost them, particularly in marginalised rural areas across Europe, with a focus on the Mediterranean region (including non-EU) where there is limited evidence of outcomes and supporting conditions. The MOOC is hosted in Future Learn, a global platform offering online courses from many reputed institutions on hundreds of different topics.
